본 논문에서는 유도 가열코일의 인덕턴스 변화 환경에서 스위칭주파수를 가변하여 최대 가열 전력이 전달될 수 있는 유도 가열 방식을 제안하였다. 가열코일내 피 가열체 종류 및 가열코일과의 근접도에 따라 공진회로의 공진주파수가 변화하게 되며, 공진주파수와 스위칭주파수 관계에 따라 유도가열기 소자의 파손 또는 손실이 발생하여 최대 전력 전달이 어려울 수 있다. 공진주파수의 변화에 따른 가열 전력을 감지하여 최대 전력 전달이 유지되도록 스위칭주파수를 가변하도록 하였다. 공진 주파수 변화에 대응하는 스위칭주파수 가변에 따라 요구하는 출력 변화 범위내로 제어될 수 있는 제안된 방식의 결과를 통하여 거의 일정한 출력전력(0.43 dB 이내) 전달이 가능한 스위칭주파수 가변특성을 갖는 유도가열기의 전력 효율성을 확보할 수 있었다.

티타늄과 그 합금은 경량성, 우수한 기계적 성질 그리고 우수한 내식성 때문에 주요한 안경테 소재로 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 티타늄 합금 홈선에 대하여 안경테 브레이징용으로 사용되고 있는 고주파유도가열 장치를 이용한 열처리 시간의 변화에 따른 경도 및 미세조직의 변화에 대하여 조사하였다. ${\beta}-Ti$ 합금은 고주파유도가열처리 시간의 증가에 따라 경도값의 감소가 나타났으며, 이는 열처리 시간의 증가에 따른 결정립의 조대화 때문인 것으로 생각된다. Ti-325 합금의 고주파유도가열처리에서는 2초까지는 경도값이 감소하였으나, 3초에서는 급격히 증가하였다. 이는 2초까지는 결정립의 조대화에 의한 경도값의 감소가 일어나지만, 3초에서는 미세한 ${\alpha}+{\beta}$ 상의 층상조직이 발달하였기 때문으로 판단된다.

Induction heating of float metal products has an increasing importance in many applications, because it generates the heat within workpiece itself and provides high power densities and productivity. In this study, the induction heating of a steel plate to simulate the line heating is investigated by means of the Finite Element Analysis of the magnetic field and temperature distribution. A numerical model is used to calculate temperature distribution within the steel plate during the induction heating with a specially designed inductor. The effects of materital properties depending on the temperature and magnetic field are taken into consideration in an iterative manner. The simulation results show good magnetic field with experimental data and provide good understanding of the process. Since the numerical model demonstrates to be suitable for analysis of induction heating process, the effects of air gap and frequency on magnetic-flux and power-density distribution are also investigated. It is revealed that these process parameters have an important roles on the electro-magnetic field and power-density distribution governing the temperature distribution of the plate.

During hot pipe bending using induction heating, the wall of bending outside is thinned by tensile stress. In design requirement, the reduction of wall thickness is not allowed to exceed 12.5%. So in this study, two methods of bending, one is loading of reverse moment and the other is loading of temperature gradient, have been investigated to design pipe bending process that satisfy design requirements. For this purpose, finite element analysis with a bending radius 2Do(outer diameter of pipe) has been performed to calculate proper reverse moment and temperature gradient to be applied. Induction heating process has been analyzed to estimate influence of heating process parameters on heating characteristic by finite difference method. Then pipe bending experiments have been performed for verification of finite element and finite difference analysis results. Experimental results are in good agreement with the results of simulations.

High-frequency induction is an efficient way to heat mold surface by electromagnetic induction in a noncontact procedure. It has been recently applied to the injection molding of thin-walled parts or micro/nano structures. Though the induction heating has an advantage in terms of its rapid-heating capacity on the mold surface, it still has difficulty in efficient mold temperature control due to the restriction of an induction coil design suitable for the given mold shape. The present study proposed a localized mold heating method by means of selective use of mold material. For localized induction heating, an injection mold composed of ferromagnetic material and paramagnetic material is used. The electromagnetic induction concentrates on the ferromagnetic material, from which we can selectively heat for the local mold elements. The feasibility of the proposed heating method is investigated through an experimental measurement in terms of the heating efficiency on the localized mold surface.

Induction bending via high-frequency heating is widely used for manufacturing pipe and section steel bends. It allows productivity improvement, unit cost reduction, delivery time compliance, and good mechanical properties. The recent increase in high-end vessels and offshore plants has raised the demand for high-frequency bending, which should improve the product quality and reduce the costs by simplifying the fabrication process; therefore, the characteristics and performance of this technique must be studied and proper design technology is required. During hot pipe bending via induction heating, the outward wall thickness of the pipe is thinned due to tensile stress and this thickness reduction cannot exceed 12.5%. This study focused on pipe bends with a bending curvature of 5D and their optimization design; in particular, the conditions that can both improve the productivity of the high-frequency bending process and keep the maximum thickness reduction below 12.5% were determined.

A single-switch parallel resonant converter for induction heating is implemented. The circuit consists of an input LC-filter, a bridge rectifier, and a controlled power switch. The switch operates in soft commutation mode and serves as a high frequency generator. The output power is controlled via the switching frequency. A steady state analysis of the converter operation is presented. A closed-loop circuit model is also presented, and the experimental results are compared with the simulation results.
